Guess what today is ...

Guess what today is ... 4 MONTHS UNTIL CHRISTMAS! V put a sign up on our door today to let everyone know. She also began singing carols. The sign was enough to solicit several sets of rolling eyes...the carols were even less welcome.

4 cabins in 4 weeks treated me well -- I've really got to get one of those someday. Can't believe that the summer is nearly through. I'm on HP book 7, still gearing up for my movie marathon.

Read "The Help" this summer, hoping to see the movie sooner rather than later. I started crushing on Emma Stone when I first saw "Easy A".


Dear Summer,

Does this really have to be over so soon? I thought we had something special...

Unplanned hiatus

We're so sorry and blah blah blah about not posting.

I recently celebrated my birthday with a bunch of friends and champagne and dancing at the club, it was excellent. Soon I head out on my very first train trip to visit a friend and spend some time at the cabin...the work day always seems longer when a vacation is so close.

My Harry Potter summer is off to an excellent start. Last night I finished book 2 (only 5 more to go!...there are 7...right?).

V and I saw Water for Elephants this week. I'd recommend it.

Okay, so besides Macho Man Randy Savage dying, Sean Kingston has got into a sea doo accident, Ryan Dunn from Jackass has died, and Zsa Zsa Gabor drank Champagne on hear deathbead to celebrate her husbands 68th birthday.

Now real life... Still walking to work and getting faster every day.  I have met a new person who is a Chef!  That's right a Chef!  For those of you who know me personally know why this is such a big deal... I am not much of a cook and don't like touching raw chicken at all!  Just friends right now and seeing if there is more there.  Will definitely keep you posted.

Not sure if I told you about the new game I learned a few weekends ago... Beer darts, that's right just like it sounds.  You shake up a beer can and the other team throws a dart in it and then you have to shotgun it.  I don't recommend using lime beer for this as it takes a while to get a dart in the can and sometimes the beer gets warm.

I will probably not drink lime beer again this summer!  Hope I have more exciting news to tell you soon :)

Another Celebrity Gone!!!

Well, I hate to be the one to break it to you guys but I just found out that Macho Man Randy Savage is DEAD!  (He was a wrestler for all you -10's)

What tragic news to get on a Friday of a long weekend!  Other than that, nothing to report except it is now supposed to RAIN ALL WEEKEND.... BOO!!!

Wow... It sure has been a long time!

+10, V

It sure has been crazy around here lately!!!

So sorry for not updating in such a long time.  Things have been really busy at work.  Nothing exciting has happened in my personal life, however on Friday, May 6 I had the best night ever partying with a bunch of twenties in my home town.  Have you ever played Beer Pong?

We had a tournament in someones garage, which is really not a garage it is more like a pimped out man cave.  I had just arrived to see my sister and ten minutes later I was paired up with a hippy looking twenty something from BC to play Beer Pong.  Seriously so fun!  I will definitely play that again.

When I say nothing has been going on in my personal life, I mean NOTHING!  I have now been living in this province for almost a year and only one thing happened to me and that was meeting that stupid idiot which I had to counsel.  Not a great year!

Anyway, I have been walking to and from work and feel really great about that.  -10, J and I still keep our Starbucks Friday traditions though, so I don't walk that morning.  This weekend is a long weekend and again I really don't have anything exciting planned.  I was going to go camping but that fell through and it is now supposed to rain anyway.  I think I will go back to my hometown and do some afternoon patio time with my sisters.  Hopefully there will be another matchup of Beer Pong!

We feel terrible...

Correspondence isn't supposed to begin with an apology, so I'll save that for the middle somewhere.

Everything has been crazy busy lately. I don't even remember what was all going on the last time we posted, but I'll just pick up from right where I'm at and hope that you can keep up.

Last weekend I celebrated Easter with family there was a lot of food and it was lovely.

I also ended up with a sun burn after lying in the sun. Note to self: never forget sun screen.

This summer I have issued myself a challenge: To read the entire Harry Potter series and then have a Harry Potter movie marathon. I read the first book for an English class in university, but never got into the whole thing, since the final film in the series comes out this summer I think it's about time I jump on the bandwagon. Does anyone have book 1 for me to borrow?

Work has been busier than ever. I sort of hate it. But today is ok. I'm sorry for not posting more often, my bad.

Spring Fever!

Hello Everyone.

Today is Tuesday, April 5 and I am now on my second week of eating healthy and on my second day of walking to and from work.  Well, actually I am not walking home today because I have the worst shin splints!  I am out of shape, but not that bad.  I walked to and from work all last summer up until the middle of December when the snow hit.  Now that I am older and still single I thought it would be a good idea to try to be healthier.  I have a friend who joined weight watchers and already lost five pounds in two weeks but I don't think I am as dedicated as she is. 

This weekend my Mom came for a visit on Saturday and I made a crock pot of chili in the morning, went shopping in the afternoon, watched the movie "get him to the greek" (super stupid), and then went to the casino for a few hours of bingo.  Don't worry, my weekends will surely spice up now that the weather is nicer and patio season will begin.  Hopefully a lot of you will join me for my beloved patio drinks.

Today I am going to the doctor to refill my birth control prescription in the hopes... I mean in case I am faced with a situation of lust so there will not be any unplanned pregnancies.  Or if you know me I like to say: in case I ever fall on a ween I will be prepared :)

I am also having my Tuesday night get together with my friend (CC) and am looking forward to it since she was away last week.  She better of brought me my magnet!  Yes, I collect magnets from different places, please don't judge me.  It's the one thing you can collect that doesn't add clutter.

Finally, my favourite show Vampire Diaries is back on the air this Tuesday!  I am so looking forward to seeing Damon Salvatore back on the big screen.  I love him so much on the show and then followed him on twitter and it turns out he is a cat lover and animal activist.  I do not consider myself a mean person but I HATE cats and think there are better things to focus your energy on than animals.  Now, now, don't send me any hate comments cause it's not like that.  I'm just really not a pet person.

Let's just say that I can no longer claim to have never been in a limo while in a full Richard-Simmons-esque outfit, which ended up being more '80's aerobics-esque, complete with off-the-shoulder baggy shirts and fluorescent pink socks. We got the limo (and went through with the theme) for my friend's birthday on Friday and it was absolutely hilarious. People were crowd surfing, music was loud...and then we went to the club. All-around an excellent night.

Saturday night I saw "Lincoln Lawyer" which I went into with very low expectations and left pleasantly surprised. If you're in the mood for a legal drama I'd recommend it. Reminded me of a John Grisham book-into-movie...sort of a "Runaway Jury" vibe but more intense).

Sunday lunch was with several lovely people. And then I spent some quality time with Zach and Natalie (i.e. main characters in "Garden State", an excellent recommendation).

Have you ever had a conversation with a friend about a problem and felt that they understood exactly what you were describing (in an honest way, not a yeah-sure-I'll-nod-my-head-so-you-shut-up-soon way). It's really nice when that happens.

Steve, Mike...does it make a difference?

-10, J

So there are these two guys, Steve and Mike. Both of them like me, but neither one seems to care about me as a person. You know the kind of guy that just wants to win the girl because then they'll have beat some other guy? Both of them seem like that and it's childish. I don't want a boy, I want a man! The worst part is that they're constantly talking about how the other one is stupid and doesn't deserve me (one of the most unattractive qualities I've ever experienced).

Do they have such low self-esteem that they can't find good qualities about themselves? I mean, come on, if you like me so much, prove that you're worth a commitment. I know some other girls that are in this situation and they've backed away from both guys because they get bored, but I really want a relationship.

I know that Steve and Mike each only want one thing from me, but I'm going to need some serious attention before I give it up to them; my vote doesn't come cheap.

So, what's a girl to do? Either Steve or Mike is going to have to bring his game to the next level, otherwise I'll have to go for this third guy, Jack, he seems ok...but I might be wasting my time. My last resort is dumping the men altogether to be with this girl, Liz. Who knows, maybe a little experimenting is just what I need.

Well, Nothing exciting to report.  I have spent the last few evenings at home catching up on my PVR recordings.  On Wednesday J came over as we had plans to cook a few different meals.  These plans were made about a week ahead of time so once the day came and I worked a crazy busy day and we left late... I really didn't want to do it.  If you know me, I would much rather go out for dinner than make one at home. 

It's just that it is so much work to cook for one person and then you have a ton of left overs which I get sick of fast.  Anyway, with a bit of a push, J convinced me on making the meal.  I got my way with only making one meal though :)  She is a good cook!  I boiled the pasta and cut peppers.

This weekend is going to be pretty boring!  Not much going on tonight, having my mom come over on Saturday and going to the Casino to play bingo.  Yup now that's the boring weekend of a thirty something :)
